Kick back under the stars with tons of free film nights for summer 2019
By - posted 6/11/2019 No Comment

Although San Francisco’s “Film Night in the Park” series hasn’t been announced yet, there are still lots of options for outdoor films.

Summer means the weather (usually) gets a little warmer in the Bay Area and all the outdoor movie screens pop up. So get ready to bring a blanket, pack a picnic (and smuggle in a bottle of wine) and watch a movie under the stars.
